On Sunday evening, we decided to get the kids out of the house. Even though we had a fun-filled weekend, we wanted to make sure we burned off a little energy before bed.  So we hauled the bikes up to the school to get some riding practice in. We figured we just needed a big flat space.

And it worked.  Maria rode her bike by herself – start to finish! time and time again!  So proud of her. We’d been struggling about 4 weeks ago with starting and keeping it up for more than 10-15 feet.  We hadn’t practiced in a long time but on Sunday, she didn’t hesitate – just got on her bike and went!  We were all excited!
